Rich N Elisa Smith 5 Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Bought my spark a few weeks ago and looking into several different options to make the car perform and look better then it already does straight off the showroom floor. Not finding a whole lot yet but have a hutch this car is going to become very popular very soon. As a daily driver I already have 800 miles on it but its comfortable, and handles decent stock. So far only one concern tho. The shifter is poorly designed (manuel trans). Just had to have it towed because it stuck in second gear and was unable to shift. Shifter became very sloppy (like the linkage came off) and would grab gears but you could tell something wasn't right. Eventually after a few miles it just wouldn't shift out of second and into any other including neutral. Waiting to see what the dealer has to say. I'm still very pleased with the 39mpg highway (up and down the cajon pass in so cal.) Jopar_X 1 Link to post Share on other sites

WaltK 305 Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Welcome to the forum, tough break with the trans, crazy things happen, but it'll be back in action real quick. I think you're right about the popularity. Jopar_X 1 Link to post Share on other sites
